The Oklahoma Association of Conservation Districts ( OACD ), and the Oklahoma Black Historical Research Project ( OBHRPI ) are partnering to increase participation in NRCS and state conservation programs among socially disadvantaged and veteran farmers and ranchers. The Conservation & Agriculture Reach Everyone program, CARE, focuses on empowering farmers and ranchers to effectively engage with local, state, and federal agencies to ensure the viability of their working lands. Removing barriers and fostering relationships that preserve our most precious resource, people, one acre and one farmer at a time is central to the mission of CARE. OACD and OBHRPI work closely with local conservation districts to deliver comprehensive conservation planning that focuses on improvements to soil health and water quality. CARE supports underserved communities through financial and technical assistance and continuing education opportunities. We believe creating more generationally sustainable farms comes from accelerating the adoption of innovative technology, prioritization of soil health, and invasive species eradication. The project builds the capacity of participating organizations to develop and implement conservation projects and strengthen the technical capacity of conservation districts to assist in both conservation planning and Farm Bill Conservation Programs.
